The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2021/22

[The Rational Fan]

I might be in the minority but I really want Seri and Anguissa to stay

You are

He's not

I hope Anguissa and Seri both stay.

A lot of fans love Reed, Cairney and Onamah; I admit all three may be better than Seri when they actually play, but Seri injury record is so good that Wednesday could be the 5th game Seri has missed through injury in this entire career, but knowing him he'll recover from his injury by the Milwall game.

In comparison, I expect doubt Reed, Onamah and Cairney will all be fit for five games this entire season. Seri is possibly one of the most important players this season, even if he is not a star.

Seri can play as a 6.8, 10 or off the bench; so much better than our other midfielders that their most frequent position is rehab.

I've literally just been told don't expect Anguissa to stay. Been told a premier league club are expected to bid this week. Probably today or tomorrow but if I hear anything else I will let you know

That will be the Villa/Arsenal rumours that have been circulating for about a week finally hitting your source then

The rumours have been circulating yes, however, I've been told a physical bid is expected in the next 24 - 48 hours

Anything about us getting more signings in WSW?

On Friday you said "So been told this morning, Anguissa is in advanced talks about a permanent move away, he has agreed terms, and the club are just trying to agree the fee with the buying club. Seri likely to be off (possibly Galatasaray for a couple of million), if we can't sell him, we are looking at how much it would cost to terminate his contract to save his wages. Again I can't say which Club Anguissa is talking too, but its a fairly big club and the fee will likely be between 18-20 million".

It seems rare for someone that has agreed terms with another club to then play on the saturday, especially if the selling club stand to lose £18-£20m!
I will chose my words carefully, so I suggest that your source is lying to you and from the intel on managers, has been all along.
FWIW, I do think Anguissa will be sold this window, but I'd suggest that the timing of your "intel", prior to him playing on Saturday, showed your intel as incorrect.

[Lighthouse]

Can I point out that the rumours and intel on here are likely genuine. This does not mean they are true and things change. So instead of always questioning the messenger. Just go with it or ignore it. But until anything is official it is all at best informed speculation.

Personally I enjoy reading it but have yet to be upset when it doesn't always prove to be accurate.

I didn't think we could afford to hold on to Frank this season FFP also he wants out anyway.

Yes I can explain this, Anguissa has still agreed terms with this club, that hasn't changed. But said club have so far, not met our valuations. Therefore until he a subsequent offer meets our valuation, he is available. The offer last week was, as far as I'm aware, 4 million pounds below the asking price.

We should all know by now how things change with transfers, often last minute, often agent driven asking for more money, brinkmanship, the whole works.  All things are possible and I for one really enjoy WSW posts and all the other ITK people we have had in the past and have now.  Nobody at the club can be certain of what will happen so it's pretty difficult for any ITK to always get it right.

[unionist_ffc]

Heard we are close to a deal for a young Southampton striker.

Journo friend told me.

Obafemi?

Must be, TalkSport journo linked us to him on Friday and FootballLeagueWorld (gutter tier of rumours but still) ran an exclusive story on it today

Gone, finally

[Cookie6262]

The Muniz deal appears to be done and the rumours surrounding Obafemi seem genuine.... Does anybody else worry this may mean Mitro will be off?? I like the sound of Muniz and I really like what I have seen from Obafemi, strong quick hard working... I would be happy with them to upfront, I just think we wouldn't signing two strikers if Mitro is staying, a little weird.

[PaulJ123]

Like I said, if someone offered 25m for Mitro I think we take it. But I can't see that happening and he seemed to enjoy it on Saturday.

Can Muniz/Obafemi play on the wing do we know
